Submission Fighting Techniques

Rating:
Summary: Very good for what it presents
Review: This book is specificaly on no-gi submission moves. In that area, it is one of the better books out there, and a "must have" for anyone involved in submission grappling. The photos are pretty clear, and numbered in sequense so the reader can better understand what he's looking at. The author describes the moves from the possitions they are performed from (i.e., "Submissions from the Guard"). The moves shown have less variety than LeBell's "Grappling Encyclopedia", but as such is less overwhelming. Only problem, like LeBell's book, is that the reader isn't shown how to get into these possitions. And I'd prefere to see some reversals. Still, overall, an excellent book, and I'd recomend it to anyone who wants to learn non-gi submission holds.
